Acidity smoothed out with breathing. Strong plum. Made in steel instead of oak. — 6 years ago

Lighter than the Rayas and Pignan but with the same or perhaps some added elegance. Has everything you want and expect from one of Reynauds wines: warm ripe strawberries, petrichor and iodine. No need to wait. — 8 years ago

This is beautifully rustic. The evolution could have not been better. It’s peaking now and by no means dead. Reminds me of pignan in many ways. Light ruby. grapefruit skin on the nose with some light animale and spice. Pomegranate and wild strawberry. Absolutely intoxicating nose and the palate is silk. Bottle was finished in no time. Super easy — 5 years ago

Decanted for a hour and blinded. Exotic fruit, not Burgundy but overlapping aromas of prunes, raisins, liquorice, black fruit, and leafy. Cool and elegant. Perhaps a combination of makers touch and vintage? Hard to believe this is Rhone but only one producers style comes to mind. One of Reynaud's estates. Guessed Pignan! Becomes darker and more one dimensional after a while. — 8 years ago

I have found Cristia to be very similar to Pignan/Rayas in the past owing to the old vines and essentially 100% Grenache. This is so young and extracted, it’s challenging to know what to make of this wine. Needs at least another decade to refine the phenolics. Quite ripe and raw at the moment. Judgement conditional. — 7 years ago
